Published 2 weeks ago
Description
More exposure to Asian cultures within our communities is helping expand ties with the region.
The Asia New Zealand Foundation's latest survey finds more than 60% of members now feel connected to Asian culture in their daily lives.
Sociologist Paul Spoonley says more young people are considering the region for their OE, when in the past, they'd tend to opt for Europe or Australia.
He told Francesca Rudkin the destinations are a draw, and people are attracted by the food, the culture, the climate, and the cost.
